"Apart from this, the kingdom can give an order …"
Looking at Olivia, Chen Heng slowly said, "Any citizen of the Kutu Principality who has the ability to establish a stable territory in the desert can be recognized as the ruler of that territory. They will be recognized as nobles of the kingdom and will be given the corresponding title of nobility.
"This does not matter if they were born as slaves, merchants, or nobles.
"This does not matter if they were born as nobles …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Olivia's eyes became brighter and brighter.
She immediately understood what Chen Heng was talking about.
Once this announcement was made, all of the people in the Kutu Principality who desired territory and titles would flood into the northern side to resist the northern rulers.
In order to obtain and defend their territory, those people would have to do their best and continuously use up their strength.
This was equivalent to indirectly using up the strength of other nobles to increase the kingdom's strength at the borders.
What was more important was that during this process, those people would be willing to do this.
The kingdom would not receive any bad reputation and would be able to achieve what they wanted.
Looking at Chen Heng, Olivia's eyes became brighter and brighter, and her impression of him completely changed.
Before, she had only seen Chen Heng as a virtuous and powerful Knight.
However, this stereotype was completely shattered at this moment.
This person not only had immense strength and talent, but he also had powerful abilities that ordinary people did not have. He could see places that ordinary people could not.
It was as if he could find a solution to any problem that was presented to him.
Looking at Chen Heng's tall and straight figure and calm expression, Olivia's heart became more resolute.
Even without his powerful strength, Chen Heng was still a rare talent.
With such talent, even if he was not a Knight, he was worth roping in by Olivia.
After making up her mind, she continued to speak.
Following this, she started to ask Chen Heng about some other things.
What shocked her was that no matter what question she asked, Chen Heng seemed to be able to accurately understand her meaning and give his own opinion and solutions.
Gradually, Olivia could not help but sigh in amazement.
"What a pity …"
Looking at Chen Heng, she said seriously and sighed, "If only I could have known you earlier."
"However, it's not too late now."
She looked at Chen Heng and could not help but smile as she said, "I'm very glad that I called you over to hear your opinions."
"You flatter me, Princess."
Chen Heng lowered his head. Despite being praised by Olivia, he did not look pleased at all, "It's just a personal opinion."
"Princess, you have the most outstanding talents in the kingdom by your side. My opinion is probably not a big deal."
"They can't compare to you."
Thinking back to her advisors, Olivia could not help but shake her head, "They only kept telling me to hurry up and recruit more people."
"There are hardly any useful suggestions."
She could not help but give a mocking look before looking at Chen Heng and saying sincerely, "Kaelin, are you interested in becoming my vassal?"
She looked at Chen Heng and said seriously.
Chen Heng could not help but feel surprised.
So direct?
However, thinking about it, for the high and mighty Princess Olivia, if she wanted to recruit someone, she did not need to be tactful.
However, this was not the case for Chen Heng.
"I should not go against Your Highness's invitation. It's just that I want to discuss this with my father …"
Chen Heng bowed and lowered his head, "As such, please give me some time."
Even though he had already decided on his future plans, agreeing too directly was not too appropriate. It would not be beneficial to Chen Heng's status, nor would it be beneficial to his development with Verna.
As such, it was necessary to take a step back in order to advance.
"You want to discuss it with my father? That's not a problem."
Olivia expressed that she understood Chen Heng's words.
With Chen Heng's status, he represented his entire family.
According to the rules of this era, once Chen Heng became Olivia's vassal, it would mean that his family would also be joining her.
After all, after Ormando died, Chen Heng would be Baron Kaisen's only child, as well as Baron Kaisen's successor.
Once he joined Olivia, it would mean that his entire family would join her as well.
This was an important decision that involved the entire family, so it was normal for her to think about it.
"As a personal matter, I know very well what you're thinking about."
Looking at Chen Heng, Olivia smiled, "However, as Verna's big sister, I have to remind you.
"Verna is still waiting for you in the palace," Roland said.
Don't let her wait too long. "
"Verna …"
Hearing this, Chen Heng suddenly looked up, a look of shock on his face, "Your Highness is … Verna's big sister?"
"That's right."
Seeing the look of shock on Chen Heng's face, Olivia felt quite pleased and nodded as she said, "Verna is my little sister and the third princess of the kingdom.
"What, you've known her for so long, but you haven't guessed her identity yet?"
Speaking to there, she smiled with a playful look on her face.
"I guessed a bit, but I thought that she was just someone from the Carey family …"
Chen Heng gave a bitter smile, "Who would have thought …"
"Verna is a bit afraid of strangers, so she has been in the kingdom since she was young and rarely goes out. It's normal that you did not think of her."
Olivia shook her head as she said, "However, I never thought that she would become friends with you, and that things would develop to this point."
Hearing Olivia's words, Chen Heng fell silent, as if he was still digesting this information and accepting this reality.
Only after a while did he sigh and ask, "What does Your Highness want?"
"It's not what I want but what you want."
Olivia raised her head and looked at Chen Heng seriously, "I saw your previous meeting and conversation."
Undoubtedly, Verna likes you a lot. "
"Then what about you?"
Olivia asked as she looked at Chen Heng.
Chen Heng fell silent for a moment.
Outside the room, in a place that he did not know, a pair of eyes was staring at them.
There, Verna wore a black dress and stood there with her female servant beside her.
It seemed that she had been standing here for a long time and had been listening to Olivia and Chen Heng's conversation.
Hearing Olivia's words, her heart rate sped up as she stared at Chen Heng, waiting for his reply.
Does he also like me?
Is he willing to be with me?
Just what is he thinking?
Questions kept popping up in his mind, one after another.
